I would be more comfortable seeing a current HijackThis log and getting an online AV scan before I said fixed.

As for TechSpot 'putting you on to HijackThis'> yes we do ask that you run it after running Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. And then we tell you which entries need to be removed in the HJT log and if any special additional things need to be done. An example of this would be a DNS Changer malware infection.

There is a reason we call it Preliminary Removal Instructions

If you're satisfied, okay. But that is not a path I would recommend. We need to see the logs to known what we're working with.

Sorry about that. Point taken.

Unfortunately the young guy I was helping needed his PC back in a hurry to get high school assignments finished this weekend, so had to do a pre-emptive strike. I had an Acronis back-up image if things went pear shape. When he first brought his PC to me, it wouldn't run at all. Eventually had to run the Windows installation disc, and repair existing OS. This allowed me in, then removed about 53 odd viruses, trojans and adware. However, after doing this post, ran out of time.

I actually did run HJT after running MWB & SAS. The log shown in my original post is the one from Super Antispyware, not from HJT.

To cover all bases, next time I see him I'll try to get an HJT log of current status of his PC.
